I am still trying to digest what I saw in the ai pin video from Humane, but I was totally and completely blown away. Mind is racing. Palms are sweaty. This feels like a big fucking deal. Even if this is a glimpse of what the future of mobile devices will be… society isn’t prepared for this.
Laura brought a guava home from the office. The thing literally smelled up our entire house. Sometimes it smelled amazing and other times it sort of smelled like… body odor? I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one before and after trying it tonight, I’m not sure I’ll eat it again any time soon.
This woman’s account of homeschool conferences was not an easy read. I have more to say on this, but it’s probably better suited for a longer post, whenever I get around to that. (via Kottke)
There are a few blogs (remember those?) that I read every day. Seth Godin’s blog is one of them. Every single post is often just enough. They often feel topical even though they almost never mention the thing he has in mind while writing it. Today’s post was exceptional. Here’s a bit of it, but you should definitely read the whole thing.
“What you were trained to do, what you did yesterday… that’s a gift from your past, not an obligation. Beginning the analysis with, “what I used to do was…” is a great way to open the door to what you’re going to do tomorrow.”
Is it about AI because of what OpenAI announced this week? Is this about a friend of his that’s struggling to redefine their career? Was he reading about the impact of technological advances on humanity? Who knows??
There are a lot of people looking for work. I’ve talked to a handful of them. Don’t limit yourself by thinking so much about what people expect you to do or what you did in your last role. Don’t assume that you have to start completely over when you redefine yourself or what you do for work. Friends like Margot, Virginia, Jen, Amy, Karen and Mike have all inspired me by redefining themselves in the time I’ve known them.
I unfortunately sliced my hand open with a box cutter today. It slipped as I was breaking down a box. Had to get stitches. I’m more annoyed than anything. That said, I highly recommend the OLFA B-NL. I also recommend you only extend the tip of the blade, which definitely saved me from a worse injury.
Kids got their COVID and flu vaccines today. No tears. No issues getting them, but man is the flue shot arm sore. Had to give them some ibuprofen before bed. My arms are fine and no issues with side effects.
Watched Teen Wolf with the kids tonight. We’ve been on an 80s movie kick for a while. Not a great movie. There was some weirdo high school sex stuff that I had to explain in addition to the utterancese of a particularly gross word they had never heard before that I had to explain.
Absolutely chill-inducing and emotional to watch. My god, The Beatles mean so much.
Vaxxed to the max 💉💉 Decided to get Novavax after getting the mRNA vaccine previously.
